It went really well, I only took a couple of pictures of the fancy dress costumes as when people starting arriving I just didn't stop!
Bats
A huge spider
Loits of blood!
On Thursday morning we went to the annual handover of one of the knitting groups that we knit for.
Everything that's been knitted in the last twelve months is put on tables for everyone to look around and see, the representatives from each charity then gives a little thank you speech and we have tea and cakes, it really is a lovely way to spend a morning.
Blankets for Syria
Barbie and Ken dolls for shoeboxes
Jumpers, mitten and socks for Uganda
More hats, some are for the Fishermen's Mercy Mission and some for shoeboxes.
The lady that gave the speech for the shoeboxes said that they try to include a hat in every shoebox as whoever receives a box always puts the hat straight on.
Going to this handover always gives me more inspiration to knit more than the last year for the next years meeting.
That is so impressive. How lovely to know so many people will benefit. x
ReplyDeleteIt's such a good amount of garments, many will definitely benefit x
